Food Trucks ??

[NOLAchef]

Hola!

So, I saw some food trucks at the Masticar Festival a couple of weeks back and I just saw a school bus being transformed into a kitchen.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN REGARDS TO THE RULES & REGULATIONS IN ARGENTINA ABOUT STREET FOOD? Have they changed something? When I first got here I was told that its 100% impossible to have a food truck, something about mobile kitchens being illegal.

How can I research this?

THANK YOU!

I have no idea about the logistics, but if you find you are able to open one, keep us posted. I love the food truck craze going on in the U.S. We had a food truck night in my neighborhood in Orlando every Tuesday and I miss the fun of it. Oh, what I wouldn't do for some chicken and waffles and a Yum Yum cupcake.

I don't have an answer for you (though I would love to know myself). But I was wondering - if mobile kitchens are illegal, how come the costañeras are full of chorizo and parilla trucks?

Hi, if you contact me directly I can give you some contacts that might be able to help. They are restaurant consultants that know their way around the BA food scene.
